Provision of Disowning or reverse adopted child
27-Jun-2025 (In Family Law)
I adopted a 8 months kid from adoption center ,now she is 15 and showing extreme behaviour issues and even tried to hurt herself if try to discipline. When she was 8 years old I got divorced and now she blame everything her misbehave with me on divorce and other dirty things she is inclined to share online. i don't see a way to discipline her besides disowning her as extreme solution. is their any provision of it in India.
If you wish to disown her then you need to get it published in the newspaper through an affidavit that will contain the full details and will be counter attested by the notary public. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

Adoption is permanent in eyes of law. It cannot be revoked or cancelled. despite having any issues with the child. You cannot think of disowning them. The day you adopt you become the legally responsible parent for their care and upbringing. Now to discipline your child, first not to make extra pressure, give little space under your observation.
try some therapy session talk to your child listen him, may be he or she is going through with something.

Hi. Upon valid adoption, the adoption itself cannot be reversed. You may still have some other legal options available, like creation of will. Will have to understand the nuances and the extent of issue. Please contact for further discussion on this sensitive matter

I completely understand what you’re facing. Teenage years are tough, and when there’s added emotional baggage from the past like adoption and divorce, things can spiral out. From your query, it’s clear she’s acting out due to built-up emotional stress. I’ve seen similar cases in practice, and many parents feel stuck just like you. Now, as far as legally disowning a minor is concerned, that’s not something our law allows especially when the child is still dependent and under your guardianship. But don’t worry, there are proper legal ways to deal with extreme behaviour, whether it's through counselling under legal supervision or seeking help from child-related authorities. You don’t have to go through this alone. There are structured steps available that can help you manage the situation without resorting to extreme measures. If you’d like, I can explain the practical legal route and guide you based on what I’ve seen work in similar matters.
